Taken is a melodic hardcore band that formed in 1997 in Orange County, California. Together, they released two 7" demos, two EPs, and one full-length CD, which later became a 10" LP.

"Taken" is New Zealand band Stellar*'s eighth single, and their second single from their sophomore album Magic Line. This is currently (as of 2006) the band's last top 10 single entry in New Zealand. The single includes an upbeat dance remix of All It Takes by former Nine Inch Nails bandmember Charlie Clouser, as well as an acoustic version of the title track, recorded at now defunct Helen Young Studios in December 2001.
